Having spent 2 winters here now, I know that #BikeWinter isn't plausible without a fatbike. They roads aren't scraped bare, and they keep snowpack on trails for snowmobiles.

For the weekday crew: if you’re interested in continuing to ride once it cools down I made a guide on how to dress to stay comfy.
You may want to consider picking up a few key pieces of clothing before further tariffs kick in.

Thinking about taking my studded tires off. Afraid to taunt the snow demons. #bikechi #chicago #bikewinter #BikeTooter

Swapped handlebars on the single-speed, now to swap out the faulty rear wheel and motor assembly on the e-bike. This is not the lazy Sunday I was looking for #BikeTooter #bikewinter

Biking through out the year is an amazing way of getting around. Biking in Toronto during the winter is safer than walking and faster than TTC. It’s also a great way to get lots of use out of ⛷️ &🏂 helmets to keep the ears toasty. #BikeWinter #BikeTO❄️

My first ride in Brampton was a joyful experience thanks to the hospitality of #DifferentSpokes and #BikeBrampton I was happy to represent @cycletoronto.bsky.social and #BicycleMayorofToronto
On such a sunny, if chilly day. #BikeWinter

It warmed up 2 degrees on my 7 mile school drop off ride this morning! Was almost 11 degF by the time I got home. I was overdressed! #bikewinter

A photo of two bicycles parked on a sidewalk, with one bike prominently featuring bright yellow Ortlieb panniers. The background shows an urban intersection with holiday lights, storefronts, and a pedestrian crossing the street. The temperature is 16°C, and the humidity is 48%, as recorded by “Daniel’s Apple Watch” during an outdoor cycling activity on December 12, 2024, at 4:02 PM.

A cityscape featuring a tall building with a grid of black windows and vertical white stripes, reflecting the warm orange glow of the sunset. To the right, a shorter modern building with teal and beige tones stands in contrast. Bare tree branches in the foreground partially obscure the view, and a yellow school bus passes over the Belmont LFT viaduct at the bottom of the image.

A #bikewinter PSA. Here’s my “how to dress for weather when you’re broke AF” guide. This is summer inclusive and also a little old so no promises embed links still work. Please do @ me if you want personalized recommendations. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The full #bikewinter #bikecommuting #bikechi fit for this morning: waterproof pants, boots, boot socks, heavy jacket, bar mitts, balaclava, ear flaps, ski goggles. Haven't put the spiked tires on the e-bike yet but depending on how much snow we get today, this weekend might be the time.

I took one battery with 4/5 bars for my school drop off this morning. Barely got 7 miles out of it. In the summer I'd have gotten at least twice that range. #ebike #cargobike #bikewinter

Face pre stitches from crash
Hi #bikechi and anyone else rolling into #bikewinter. Take it from my stupid choices and don’t ride in freezing rain. Likelihood of black ice very high, face stitches not fun. Stay safe tonight/tomorrow
